The Great Atlantic Sretch: How Far is Southampton REALLY From NYC?
Drumroll please... Southampton and New York City are separated by a cool 3,387 miles (or 5,452 kilometers). That's roughly the distance between two slices of the best pizza you've ever had (one in NYC, one with dreams of being NYC-worthy...looking at you, Southampton).
But wait, there's more!
Tip: Scroll slowly when the content gets detailed.
This distance is the straight shot, as the crow flies (or maybe a very determined seagull). If you're planning on taking a taxi (because, who wants to be bothered with pesky details like oceans?), you're looking at a much longer journey.

Insider Tip: Learning basic phrases in Southampton's native tongue (English) might come in handy on your trip.
Okay, I'm Sold. Now What?
Now that you know the distance and have a vague idea of travel times, here's the most important question: Are you packing for a posh staycation in the Hamptons (because, let's be honest, Southampton, New York is much closer) or a full-blown British adventure?
QuickTip: Re-reading helps retention.
